Docs: https://outlierkit.com/app/api-docs\n2. On the HTTP Request node, create a **Header Auth** credential:\n   - Name: `Authorization`\n   - Value: `Bearer YOUR_OUTLIERKIT_API_KEY`\n3. Connect your **Slack** credential and pick a channel on the *Send Slack Alert* node (or swap in Discord / Telegram / Email).\n4. Edit **Alert Settings** with your niche and thresholds, then hit *Execute workflow*.\n\n💳 Cost per run: 1 OutlierKit credit (~30/month on the daily schedule).\n\nGuide: https://outlierkit.com/resources/n8n-outlier-alert-template/",
